There is always less of roads for the ever growing traffic. There is only one alternative and that is to develop cars that leave the crowded roads and float in the sky.
Jeff Allen Case is hoping to make this Sci-Fi a reality with his Hammerhead prototype.
His prototype has a three fan configuration with the front fans delivering the thrust and lift. Case did not comment on the engine configurations of this flying car but hopes whooping speeds of 250 mph at 8,000 ft and a range of 300 miles.
The car will take off and land vertically and will be easy to operate and quite safe as well.The first prototype will have a one-seater cockpit.
Case is still waiting for some funding but it will be really interesting to see the car of the future!

Hey Jeff...i have seen your drawing of your hammerhead vtol... i love it! i love it so much i want to build it! electric motors similar but larger than the Volocopter has will lift & fly this craft!... what will make mine unique is i will have a magnetic drive that will turn an electric generator... that will power the 3 electric drive/lift prop motors... no fuel needed!!! unlimited mileage! Computer controlled... safe to fly... Ballistic emergency parachute for a motor failure...i will not be building it to sell.... this will be a one of kind craft for just me!!!
have you patented the design yet? not that it matters...i am not building it for a profit to sell.... i am selfish and want it for an experimental craft that will prove my concept.... only i will fly!
